Dear all,

Looking for an idea of supplements/herbs that may reduce the side effects of TCH chemotherapy and keep the body as healthy as possible.

Has anyone supplemented with Hawthorn for heart health while on chemotherapy? How about something to reduce the possibility of chemo-brain?

What are some things that have been Okay-ed by your oncologists and worked well?

I am scheduled to start chemotherapy Friday but the nutritionist will not be available to meet with me until mid July. The only suggestion is to stop all antioxidants while on chemotherapy.

Any comments are welcomed!
